Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for scenarios requiring network extension beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet. It can be deployed in security systems to connect IP cameras over fiber backbones, in enterprise networks to link remote switches or access points, or in industrial settings where electromagnetic interference necessitates fiber optic cabling. The integrated PoE++ ports make it particularly useful for powering devices in locations without readily available power outlets, such as ceilings, walls, or outdoor enclosures.
Common applications include connecting surveillance cameras across large parking lots or buildings, extending Wi-Fi coverage to distant areas with powered access points, and integrating VoIP phones in distributed office environments. Its support for both twisted pair and fiber media allows flexible integration into hybrid network topologies, whether upgrading existing copper infrastructure or deploying new fiber runs for future-proof scalability.
Security and Surveillance
Extend network reach to remote IP cameras over fiber, with PoE++ providing power for high-resolution or PTZ models without additional wiring.
Enterprise Network Expansion
Connect switches or access points across buildings or floors using fiber for noise immunity, with PoE simplifying device installation.

FAQ
What types of cables does this media converter support?
This converter supports both optical fiber (multi-mode with 1310nm wavelength) and twisted pair copper cables (Cat5e/Cat6). It uses an SC duplex port for fiber connections and RJ-45 ports for copper Ethernet, allowing flexible integration into mixed-media network environments.
How much power can the PoE ports deliver?
Each of the two PoE ports delivers up to 60W of power compliant with the PoE++ (802.3bt) standard. This high-power output supports demanding devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points with multiple radios, or other PD (Powered Device) equipment without needing separate power supplies.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports distances up to 3 kilometers (approximately 1.86 miles) when using 1310nm multi-mode fiber optic cables. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across large buildings, campuses, or industrial sites where copper Ethernet limits would be exceeded.
What Ethernet speeds does this converter handle?
It handles Fast Ethernet speeds, specifically 10/100Base-TX, with a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbps. This makes it suitable for applications like IP surveillance, VoIP, or general office networking where gigabit speeds are not required but reliable extended connectivity is essential.
Can this converter be used in outdoor environments?
While it is environmentally friendly, the product is designed for indoor or protected outdoor installations (e.g., in enclosures). For harsh outdoor conditions, additional weatherproofing or housing may be needed, as the unit itself is not rated for direct exposure to elements like rain or extreme temperatures.
What is included in the warranty?
ComNet provides a lifetime limited warranty for this media converter, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty reflects the product's durability and reliability, offering long-term support for commercial and industrial networking deployments.
